In this weeks episode of Chokeholds & Chill, we sit down with our friend and teammate, Victoria—a white belt who brings quiet strength, open-hearted energy, and unwavering dedication to the mats and beyond. Victoria began training jiu-jitsu in January, and in just a short time, she’s become a powerful presence in our gym community. But her story stretches far beyond the mats. Raised in a homeschooling household and deeply rooted in her Christian faith, Victoria shares how her upbringing, mission work, and current role as a youth pastor have shaped her perspective on life, purpose, and discipline. Fresh off a six-week service trip to Honduras, she reflects on building homes, mentoring kids, and what it means to live out her values through action. This conversation touches on everything from faith and identity to the humility jiu-jitsu demands—and how she navigates all of it with grace, curiosity, and kindness. Whether you connect through belief, service, or simply the love of the grind, this episode is a reminder of the many ways we show up with purpose on and off the mats. Let’s roll.
